There are 100 billion stars in the Milky Way, and humanity is determined to explore every one. We send probes, probes with the blueprints to reproduce human explorers upon arrival. Uninhabited worlds the galaxy over can be colonized and populated, until after many years they too can join the vast throng of interstellar civilization. But if a probe is very, very lucky, it will land on a populated world instead. Equestria is one such world.

Even so, it's far from perfect for colonization, not with an environment lethal to human life. But each probe is resourceful and armed with the greatest machine intelligence mankind has devised. If placing a human mind into a newly manufactured human body won't work, it will just have to get a little more creative.

In case you didn't know, this story has a sequel. It's called the Epsilon Pegasus. I hope you enjoy the read!

When Rainbow Dash has to spend the night in a jail cell for a crime she claims she didn’t commit, she’s shocked to find out she has a neighbour she never thought she’d ever see. The other pony doesn’t seem like her biggest fan either from the looks of things, considering their past. But have they put it behind them after so long?

Sometimes it takes a friend – not a rival – to answer that question.

Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty, never leaves a friend hanging. But she did leave one friend hanging, at least in the eyes of that pony.

This pony, Lightning Dust, wonders why as she relives her side of the story through the bottom of a cider mug.

So yeah, I'm something of a Lightning Dust fan and disappointed with the small amount of stories here exploring her character, so I decided to give it a shot. A one shot to be specific. Feel free to provide constructive criticism or grammatical advice since I haven't done this thing before.

This story is a sequel to The Thousand Year Change

In the world of the Thousand Year Change, Lightning Dust was a member of the Lunar Guard. Her journey was full of laughs, friends, loses, and sacrifice. Her last act was one of selflessness, giving up her life in order to save the world.

However, that's not the same in cannon Equestria where she is a disgrace from the Wonderbolts. Where she hops from town to town, drowning her anger in root beer. It looks like things will never get better for her until a certain purple princess approaches her with an offer that will change her life.

Carl thought he would have a normal life (and still keep his secret of being a brony) when he graduated from his school. unluckily he finds himself in the body of lightning dust and in equestria. now he must find a way home... but whats that lurking in the shadows? and how did he get here?! all good questions.

Lightning Dust's and Rainbow Dash's Wonderbolt training continues, but something is wrong. Lightning Dust hasn't been the same since she was forced to give up her lead-pony badge and both Spitfire and Rainbow Dash have taken note.

Can they turn her around?

Or will Lightning Dust's reckless behavior finally get the better of her?

Lightning Dust isn't a kind pony and she isn't a pony who cares about others. All she ever wanted was to get a breakthrough, to have one thing go right for her, no matter the cost. It didn't matter what would appear in her way, what would hinder her and who would help her, because in the end all that mattered was that she would become a wonderbolt.

Strangely enough, her dream was crushed and Lightning Dust found herself flying into a direction, which she didn't know. Maybe she had hoped to find an answer, but all she found was a village attacked by an ursa major. Now she is just wondering why she couldn't simply ignore it.
